BLACKBOARD
SKETCHING
PLATE 16
Study the
strokes
given on the previous page, plate 15, for suggestions for sketching
this cabin.
Those at No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 will be found helpful.
Use
stroke 4, plate 15, for the outline of the roof and the sky, and add
the smooth
vertical or horizontal strokes for the sides of the building. Accent
here and
there with the point of the chalk and add details in a similar manner,
but
avoid a definite outline. Let the difference in tone make whatever
outline is
necessary.
After
erasing the
spots for doors and windows, add the strong dark tones with a bit of
charcoal.
The details at 1 and 2 on the plate will show how these are made. No. 3
shows
the treatment for the roof.
After
erasing for the trees, add a little
charcoal and chalk, using the strokes given in the lesson on trees,
plate 12.
The grass and the details in the foreground may be added last. The
sketch will
readily show the strokes necessary and the movement of the hand in
making
these strokes.
